Silhouette Christmas Tree mason jars - Easy DIY craft tutorial - HOLIDAY IDEA - Create a centerpiece, utensil holder, fill with candy, etc.

We are making Christmas tissue paper flowers and need something to hold them.
Paper flower tutorial HERE.

Do you remember my glowing biohazard jars for Halloween? Since I change my theme each year I didn't want to keep them but also didn't want to throw them out.

Same jars but now they're Christmasy!!!

Supplies:

Mason jars
Spray paint
Stickers
Blank sticker labels to create your own

I used a row of blank sticker labels and sketched a tree.

Cut out and traced to make three more. Attached to jars.

Spray painted the inside of the jars green. This will be the color of  your silhouette.

I actually like the green. If I had not made them glowing for Halloween, this would've been awesome.

Spray painted red to cover up biohazard symbol and blood splatter. :D

Let dry and peeled sticker.

Easy peasy!

UPDATE: The retirement home reused our jars again this year for flowers and paint brushes.

OCTOBER -Breast Cancer Awareness MONTH - IDEAS - Pink Ribbon Pins and gifts

The last two years I posted the teacher gifts the boys handed out for Breast Cancer Awareness and this year is no different. 

2012 Breast Cancer Awareness gifts

2013 Breast Cancer Awareness gifts

A little over a week and a half ago my older son's second grade teacher lost her battle with breast cancer. I can't even imagine the fear when multiple treatments fail. I can't imagine the heartache of knowing you will leave behind a husband and two year old son. I can't imagine the pain your body goes through in your final days. Tears stream down my face just thinking what this family is going through. 

Taken way too soon.

The boys colored their hair and wearing pink for all of October.

Supporting the fighters, admiring the survivors, honoring the taken and never, never giving up hope!

It's time to find a cure!

I originally was only including socks and bracelets (found at Michael's) but the rest of September I kept finding things to add. 

Pins, pens, ribbons, straws, bracelets, socks, bracelets for the men (Real Men Wear Pink,) glitter stickers, bags and custom tags

The boys handed these out to all the rest of the teachers

I saved the straws for DIPPED MARSHMALLOWS 

Bagged with a ribbon

Personalized To: and From: tags and DONE!

This was when the teacher at his school went on hospice in September. He started with a lighter pink to honor her.
